Features
Adaptive Operational Modes
The 07KT98 excels in flexibility, functioning as a bus master to coordinate decentralized systems, a slave unit to extend control networks, or a stand-alone solution for compact setups. This adaptability eliminates the need for multiple specialized components, streamlining industrial setups.
Comprehensive I/O Capabilities
Equipped with 24 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, and 8 configurable digital I/O ports—each with LED displays—users gain instant visibility into signal status. The 8 analog inputs accommodate diverse signal types (voltage, current, temperature via Pt100), while 4 analog outputs adapt to precise control needs, making it ideal for mixed-signal environments like manufacturing lines.
Advanced Connectivity
A CS31 system bus interface enables seamless integration with external modules, expanding system capabilities. Two serial interfaces (COM1, COM2) support MODBUS and custom programming, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern industrial networks. Optional variants add PROFIBUS-DP, ARCNET, Ethernet, or CANopen, catering to specific communication requirements.
Reliable Diagnostics & Safety
Built-in diagnostics include self-checks for the unit, CS31 bus, and connected modules. LED indicators (RUN, FK1-FK3 error classes, bus activity) provide real-time system health updates. Overload/short-circuit protection and a dedicated supply voltage LED enhance operational safety, minimizing downtime.
Intuitive Operation & Data Retention
A RUN/STOP switch allows quick program control, while online modifications (via AC31 software) enable real-time adjustments without halting operations. Data is safeguarded by Flash EPROM and an optional 07 LE 90 battery, ensuring critical information (e.g., flag status, clock data) persists during power cycles. The SmartMedia Card 07 MC 90 simplifies user data storage and system updates.
